Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening and welcome to the Tango Podcast, the place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking and a little bit of our take. I'm your host for Today man, managing editor Ari Weitzman, and the topic du jour is stock trading, particularly how to ban it in Congress. The different laws that are under debate, which ones work, which ones don't, what my take is going to be on it. But before we get into all of that in the intro with the left right saying what my take is, want to give a couple quick announcements? First, sadly, we do have a correction to issue in yesterday's edition about the State of the Union. When we were writing about Trump's description of the death of Irena Sverutska, we wrote that she was stabbed on a bus in Charlotte, North Carolina. In fact, she was attacked while riding Charlotte's light rail train. This was a factual error in the take that escaped our notice when editing, even though painfully we've gotten it right before. So thank you to the reader who pointed it out. We apologize for the error. It's our 152nd correction in our 342 week history and our first correction since February 18th. We track corrections. We put them at the top of our newsletter and podcast in an effort to maximize transparency with readers. Tomorrow I'll be drafting a Friday edition about the Olympics. We've been talking about the Winter Olympics a lot, both behind the scenes and on air for suspension of the rules, the politics of the Olympics, how unifying they are. And right at the end there we got this big controversy about the Olympic men's hockey team. I'm going to get into that for this Friday edition as well as discuss the transcendent Alyssa Liu and other US Athletes. And I think you guys will probably at least be interested in what I have to say. But without further ado, we're going to get to today's main topic, which is the ban on Congressional stock trading. I'm going to send that over to Audrey and I'll be back for my take.
